1st year tricking sampler

[DjSashow]

Amazing getting up after backflip at 0:15 xD Does that move have a name?I tried to find it but no luck :) BTW Awesome moves :D

[ryukenosuke]

I call it the Z-lift (Zombie Lift). It takes great thigh and abs strength. But to help out, when you lay on your back, point your toes out to the side. It helps with balancing when you attempt to get up. I'll look into making a tutorial for the Z-lift someday soon.

[geeksquad2]

This is very inspirational 

[ryukenosuke]

( :

I'm glad my progression can be inspiring. If you're a tricker, I hope you are still progressing as well.

[randomwrath]

I like this vid man, great feeling behind it. You look like you have a lot of fun and really enjoy what you do. Keep it up man, good work!

[ryukenosuke]

Thanks! Hopefully I can keep on going in this sport.

[BlackSabbathMark]

Some really awesome, creative moves in there. Awesome video. You give me motivation to keep going with tricking, you achieved quite a lot in a year

[ryukenosuke]

I'm glad I can motivate you to keep going. The sport is still so new. Our generation is the pioneering force behind it. ( :

[BlackSabbathMark]

@ryukenosuke Yeah. I kinda felt like giving up, but with some hard work, im gonna get back to it and continue with my training :D

[Doodlebugyro]

dude the first bit was awsum, i thought you ment to land like that you covered up so well! really cool, im making my first sampler atm :D

[ryukenosuke]

I did, actually. ( :

I call it the Z-lift (zombie lift). It's one of my signature moves.  Hehe

[melodiesofsunshine]

So ken, seeing's how you do all these tricks, I have to ask...do you know how to hula-hoop???

Bahahahahahaha

[ryukenosuke]

Just between you and me (and whoever else reads this)...I sure do. ( ;

[melodiesofsunshine]

Hahaha, I was just kidding about the hula-hooping. But you know, there's some sport I've always wanted to do...But it's become almost obsolete..........

[ryukenosuke]

What sport would that be?

[melodiesofsunshine]

Baton Twirling...Ever since I saw the movie Miss Congeniality when I was little I was fascinated by it. ;)

[melodiesofsunshine]

Hahahaha, oh ken, you didn't think i was serious when I said Baton Twirling and when I sent you that video of it on facebook did you??? You should know I'm hardly ever serious :D I'm just messing with ya a little c( ;

[ryukenosuke]

It's certainly an intense sport...though.

[melodiesofsunshine]

True. Wanna take lessons with me then? hahahahhahahahhahahahha

[ryukenosuke]

Eh, I think I'm good.

[melodiesofsunshine]

LOL I figured as much ;)

[lilMK94]

Imma these stuff over the summer and imma add it to my bboy stuffs. :D

[ryukenosuke]

The most entertaining and satisfying sport that I have ever partaken in.

[pro1knight]

Very well done! Thats great to see your progression, nice cork! :D

Keep it up man and keep us updated :P

Im in a similar position - but im only 1 month in, I can backflip and front, almost side - cant do much else though yet :)

[ryukenosuke]

(|: Keep it up, though. It's such an amazing sport.

[CorvetteZ06Nezumi]

You did beter then I could have, probibly.

[ryukenosuke]

I don't know. If you have more time to do this than I do, you could surpass me in no time. I do this only once a week if I'm lucky. Many people younger than me typically have more free time than I do.

[CorvetteZ06Nezumi]

OK, I see. But you still probably did better then I could have!

[wushufreek]

hahaha,aside from some comedy that was pretty good. awesome vid dude

[ryukenosuke]

Hehehe, thanks. ( : I can't stand having vids too serious. Gotta have a laugh every now and then, right?

[wushufreek]

hahaha very very true

[ryukenosuke]

I see you're a fan of Wushu, but do you partake in any tricking, as well?

[wushufreek]

Yes i take up wushu,it's the main thing i do. And i have just begun tricking with some of my friends from wushu.

[CorvetteZ06Nezumi]

Your right, whats a video, if theres no comedy in?

[sanouninja]

awesome!!

[ryukenosuke]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. ( :

[RaiztheCraZe]

Nice job man, very nice job! This was entertaining to watch, you look like you have so much fun ^_^

[ryukenosuke]

OMG, you have no idea. It's the most fun physical activity that I have ever experienced to date.

[RaiztheCraZe]

Keep enjoying it and enjoy the learning process. Fun is what tricking should be about, not being better than someone else. Have fun and train hard dude. Good luck with it ^_^

[ryukenosuke]

^-^ Will do. ( :

[flawless101]

KEN THAT WAS AWESOME!! wow and never seen u with short hair before definitely different =] love the falls too funny but ur still a BEAST!!

[ryukenosuke]

^-^ It's always fun to see progress, so figured a first sampler showing when I started compared to now would be great.

[coldchipsspoils]

What's the big difference between tricking and parkour? (My friend has been trying to explain to me about the differences for some time now but I still don't get it.. ^^;;)

[ryukenosuke]

Parkour is the act of getting from point A to point B as efficiently as possible with style. Tricking is the art of moving the body. Tricking has closer roots to dancing and parkour is more like running from the cops. ( ;

[coldchipsspoils]

...... It all makes sense now.. @___@ I know more people who say they do parkour more than tricking around my delinquent school.. T_T

[ryukenosuke]

Well, the act of parkour often has you trespass, so it is a more "rebelious" activity. Tricking tends to be far more flashy and impressive, though, as these are feats of skill rather than courage (or lack of judgement in my opinion).

[trixxtrixx]

damn Ken!! amazing! Almost missed the link u left me to this on my facebook wall haha.

[ryukenosuke]

Hehe, well, I'm glad you caught it. This sport is sooooooo much fun.

[ace198999]

ken...its been too long man

[ryukenosuke]

Lol, I know. I've been so busy, lately. I really need to start picking up new moves.  Staying an A~B tricker won't get me far.

[ThaiNinjA15]

merry belated trixmas!!

very nice sampler man

[ryukenosuke]

Thank you, thank you. ( :

[Ongyokage6389]

nice man i saw ur progression.. Happy tricking

[ryukenosuke]

Thanks. ( : Happy Tricksgiving to you, too. Hehehe

[brownboy252]

lmao "sorry excuses for tricking" tha was funnie

[ryukenosuke]

Haha, I love jokes, jokes and more jokes. ^-^

[TheLoliChan]

:P  Post the new ones I took on Friday sometime!

[ryukenosuke]

Well, I don't post raw footage. I will, however, use it in a future sampler. I'll post that. ( :

[cloyd000]

Nice, I like the combos.

[ryukenosuke]

Or lack there of. c( ;

That's one thing I need to work on is to increase my arsenal of combos. Still, thanks for watching. Hehe.

[ERIKTHECOP]

in 2:26 , what kind of trick is that?

[ryukenosuke]

If it's me in a red shirt, that's a gymnast aerial. If it's in a black shirt and after a weak hook-kick, it's a btwist.

[ERIKTHECOP]

i meanet the guy in the black shirt doing that breakdance move,

[ryukenosuke]

Oooooh.  My bad. I was looking at 2:06. That's my coindrop at 2:26.

[Petrifilms]

KEN!!!!!!

Awesome 1 samp!

we need to trick again i miss everyone from the txt gathering :(

[ryukenosuke]

( : thanks. I, too, miss everyone. Was sooooo much fun. I can't wait to do it again.

[AhmadFrenzel]

not bad man, keep it up

[ryukenosuke]

Thanks! ( :

[Lenny1341]

I hope im as good as you after one year of tricking. So far ive been doing it for a month and a half and can just about manage a front, butterfly kick and tornado kick, but am working on sides, backs, btwists and 540s.

Good vid :)

[ryukenosuke]

*watched your vids*  Ah, so you're going for parkour instead of tricking? Kewl beans. Keep practicing, and then I can watch your sampler someday. ( :

[trickster03]

That was fantastic Ken! I want to release a sampler soon sometime. (BTW it's Nazzie)

[ryukenosuke]

Heya, Nazzie. Been a while. I can't wait to see your sampler. One piece of advice...try to put some variety in it...as that's the one thing I'm getting flamed for on this sampler. Lol

[BezstSquad]

nice man :) Your reaction at 1:06 was great:D haha. PEACE:) and keep training

[ryukenosuke]

Haha, thx. I'm typically a goofy guy. ^-^

[maxedge13]

nice prety clean 540's and b-twists :))

[ryukenosuke]

^-^ Thx.

[chipmonk51264]

ever impressive

the only way i could do something like that is on a trampoline :|

[chipmonk51264]

sory it was supposed to be very impressive

[ryukenosuke]

Hehe, no worries.

Man, amazing things can be done on trampolines. Crazy crazy.

[trogdorfiend]

dude, i've been working on my corkscrews for a while now. yours are pretty high :)

[ryukenosuke]

( : Thank you. I still don't spin as fast as my friend, Tatsumaru, but I'm getting there. How are yours coming along?

[trogdorfiend]

just watch my latest vid

that was me almost a month ago, but they're not that much better, you know, school getting in the way of tricking and all :(

[Radkennster]

i only wish i could do something like that

[ryukenosuke]

Wow, this video hasn't been online but an hour or two, and I already have comments. hehe
